Children

Our Children's classes for ages 7-12 take a bit more serious attitude
toward martial arts than we do with our Little Dragons. Children climb the same ranks as the adults and must
learn all the same techniques as the adults. Students learn forms,
one-steps, sparring techniques, weapons and breaking, everything needed
to pass their belt exams, but they also particpate in games and
activities to do much of this learnng. Serious martial arts doesn't
mean it can't be fun!

Children learn the value of science, math and reading at school.
Martial arts can teach your child valuable lessons as well, both physical
and mental. Plus, children who come to our classes are more likely to
spend less time in front of video games and tv.

Our classes are designed to help our students set healthy, appropriate,
and productive goals. We encourage them to succeed in school, at home and
at extracurricular activities, including of course, martial arts.

Like the Dragons we teach the students the Seven Tenets of Tang Soo Do
but they also study the five codes and the student creed. In the student
creed, we teach them to develop themselves in a positive manner. Our
students learn to be physically fit and mentally prepared to take on
challenges. Confident children learn to avoid negative peer pressure
and to stand up to bullies.

Part of our student creed says "We are a black belt school." That
means that every child who works to the best of her or his ability can
earn a black belt. Our students work hard and we pay attention to their
abilities and push them to their limits. I encourage you to let your child
try our program. You won't be disappointed.
